Beach towels with chic credentials reflect our love of lidos and obsession with sea-swimming. Here are some on our radar …
Tales in terry-cloth: as summer forges on, the beach towel is becoming more than a swim necessity – it’s a fashion statement in itself. Just look to the new crop on sale right now which boast snazzy extras such as frills and are bolstered by eco credentials, as well as multi-purpose functions, doubling as blankets.

Meanwhile, Tekla sells XL towels for summer that look good and do good – each piece is made with Oeko Tex-certified organic cotton, meaning it is free from harmful substances.
